Chapter 186 138: King Yama Refuses to Take Him
"What would you have done if I hadn't let you join the team back then?"
Zhang Su pulled out a pack of cigarettes, found it empty, and tossed it aside, saying, "You should know that now every survivor team is extremely cautious about accepting newcomers!"
Zhang Ya pouted, "If I really couldn't go with you, I would leave alone. There's no way I'd stay with a lunatic. I survived a long time alone after the disaster, and even by myself, I can manage to survive toughly."
"You're indeed a conceited woman." Zhang Su nodded, voicing his thoughts.
Zhang Ya brushed the stray hair behind her ear, prodded the soil in the cement road crack with her hiking stick, and said, "Whether it's confidence or conceit, I just want to survive, Brother Su. Since being with everyone, I haven't done anything against the team's interests, right?"
"Do you even dare to do anything against everyone's interests? Do you know how many eyes are secretly watching you?"
Zhang Su exaggeratedly said.
Zhang Ya made a dramatic "ah" with a sheepish laugh, saying, "Brother Su, you're right, I am indeed conceited, thinking I'm hiding well when in your eyes it's all an act."
"Then why don't you expose me?"
Zhang Ya asked, somewhat confused.
Zhang Su glanced towards Qin City and said, "Because I hope you can really lure out that guy Liang Xiaocheng!"
He's not afraid of a direct confrontation but is wary of someone secretly plotting against him. The threat from zombies has already exhausted people; if there were underhanded tactics added, it would truly be overwhelming.
Zhang Ya spread her hands, saying, "Sorry, I haven't done anything Liang Xiaocheng asked, not daring to say there's no chance of them finding us, it's all up to luck. Alright..."
As she spoke, she shrugged her shoulders with a relieved smile, saying, "I've said everything I needed to, finally no mental burden, Brother Su, whether I stay or go, it's up to you."
"Since you haven't done anything detrimental to everyone, stay. Welcome to join us!"
Zhang Su looked into Zhang Ya's eyes seriously, thinking that wise birds choose the right tree to perch on, and any sane person would want to follow a strong leader, not a mentally unstable lunatic.
Zhang Ya's abilities were quite good; even in terms of combat power, she's above average in the team!
"Yay!"
Zhang Ya happily lifted her leg and bounced, giving Zhang Su a hug and whispering in his ear, "Brother Su, you're really handsome."
After speaking, she quickly let go and ran towards the factory.
Zhang Su smiled faintly, but his smile soon froze because he saw two sneaky eyes staring at him from the window behind Fukner Meifu — it was Corgi Good Fortune and Zheng Xinyu!
"Hey, you two, aren't you watching Chen Hanzhou properly? What are you peeking at?"
Zhang Su walked up to the RV.
Zheng Xinyu held an electronic thermometer gun, saying, "The situation might not be good; I noticed his face was a bit red, touched his forehead, it felt hot, took his temperature, look..."
She showed the thermometer to Zhang Su, the small screen displayed 39.8°, along with a doodle character looking very miserable!
Zhang Su turned to look outside the window; everyone was busy. He sat on the sofa, frowning, and said, "Back when Qiu Shuo was about to turn, he also said he had a severe fever."
He could never forget that not-so-familiar friend, the first infected person he personally saw off after the apocalypse!
Zheng Xinyu naturally remembered the gas station incident too, leaning gently against Zhang Su.
"Come on, give me the gun."
Zhang Su took a deep breath, intending to take the USP from Zheng Xinyu.
But Zheng Xinyu withdrew her hand behind her, shaking her head; "You can't do it every time!"
Zhang Su saw Zheng Xinyu's serious expression, just as he was about to speak, he heard a faint, hoarse voice.
"Brother Su, what are you and my sister-in-law planning to do...?"
Zhang Su and Zheng Xinyu's faces instantly froze, and Good Fortune, who was lying nearby, suddenly stood up, jumped onto the coffee table, staring straight at Chen Hanzhou, whose eyes were slightly open.
"Brother Su, Hanhan is fine now, he's okay!"
Zheng Xinyu was the first to react, seeing Chen Hanzhou's eyes normal, not red, she happily jumped up.
Zhang Su wasn't slow to react but was cautiously observing, seeing that Chen Hanzhou didn't seem to have turned, he asked, "Xiaochen, how are you feeling?"
"Originally... it was fine, but sister-in-law calling me Hanhan made my wound hurt..."
"Screw you, Brother Su, he's already joking, he's definitely fine now!"
Zheng Xinyu put one hand on her hip, pointing at Chen Hanzhou with the other.
Woof!
Good Fortune nodded in agreement, confirming Chen Hanzhou's condition.
Zhang Su stepped closer, somewhat uneasy, taking the thermometer gun to Chen Hanzhou's forehead for a beep, showing 36.8°, returned to normal range!
"How are you feeling, anything different?"
"Can I get some water first?"
Using his uninjured left hand, Chen Hanzhou pointed to his throat, indicating dryness.
Bottled water was placed nearby, Zhang Su unscrewed it and handed it to Chen Hanzhou, helping him sit up slightly.
Gulp, gulp, Chen Hanzhou drank a few sips, his eyes brightened a bit, and with a faint smile, he said, "It felt like a dream, dreaming I circled the Ghost Gate a few times, and the King Yama found me annoying and kicked me back!"
"I see..."
Zhang Su felt a slight disappointment, thinking that surviving this ordeal might give Chen Hanzhou some kind of adventure, but apparently not?
"Xinyu."
Zhang Su reached out to Zheng Xinyu.
Zheng Xinyu knowingly handed the USP to Zhang Su, feeling relieved, she stuck out her tongue, "Look at the person you entrusted, Chen Hanzhou, as soon as you slept, he gave the gun to me, letting me watch you, my arm went numb!"
